hey , I have some photos of a hydrema dumper that recently was painted like a ladybird , it´s stationed in middle sweden.
I want to hear what you guys and girls think about it

Seems bizarre to me, wondering why someone should paint the skip such a colour when the rest of the machine is yellow (Guess it's much easier to paint just the skip rather than the rest of the machine).

Well Sometimes it pays to be different I think

I bet this machine gets noticed when its out working !!! Shows a bit of imagination thats for sure

I spotted these unusual painted machines at a the Hillhead show 2005

John , im sure that all guys gonna laugh a bit when i explain why just the skip is lika a ladybird
so here is the "story" and its true i was there when this happend , : the guy had recently bought the machine from denmark and he wanted it repainted and when his wife was with him at the workshop where my dad works she just : ooh are you gonna repaint it ?! , do you remeber that I have wanted the old machine painted lika a ladybird for several years? and he just , "hell no bitch" but as you all guys know the women always get´s what she want so it ended up with the skip red and the rest of the machine yellow .
He said to my dad before they left , : this decision is gonna be chosed in the bed tonight
It´s hard to explain it in english but iv`e done my best

Robban : yes i have seen that topic

cheers Jocke
